Are figs flowers or fruits?
the edible part of fig is actually a flower, and the inside is full of stamens.

the inflorescence of fig belongs to cryptocephalic inflorescence, that is, the swollen inflorescence axis becomes the edible part of the fruit, so it is called "gathering flowers and fruits" when it is spent in the fruit.

figs don't bear fruit without flowering. In the world of plants, there are only fruitless flowers, but no fruitless fruits.

Ficus carica is a kind of fruit that gathers flowers and fruits (compound fruit, inflorescence fruit) and develops from the whole inflorescence. Each flower in the inflorescence forms an independent small fruit, which gathers on the inflorescence axis and looks like a fruit, such as mulberry, pineapple and fig.
